I get the same looping result. (I shortened application to app because 

I am too lazy to type all that!):

The requested URL 

/appappappappappappappappappappappappappappappappappappappappapp was 

not found on this server.

Did you remove any other Redirect rules in your VirtualHost container? I 

don't see how the above config could possibly cause a redirect like you 

are seeing, because once the redirect is made, the browser is no longer 

requesting http://application/ (it's requesting 

http://server/application). This rewrite only applies when the host name 

is "application".
